Where to Watch the Bulls and Blackhawks in the Playoffs

The Bulls and the Blackhawks are both heading to the playoffs. Whether you're a basketball fan, a hockey fan or both, we've got you covered.

What a time for Chicago sports fans. The Sox and Cubs getting started is generally enough, but this year the defending Stanley Cup champs, the Blackhawks, and the upstart, suprise No. 1 seed Bulls are getting set to start the second season.

The Blackhawks snuck into the playoffs and their first game is at 9 p.m. tonight. The Bulls finish the regular season tonight against the Nets and will take on the Pacers in the first round of the NBA playoffs, though the schedule hasn't been released yet. If you can't root them on in person, we've got five Lincoln-Way spots to catch the games.

Where: 9630 Willow Lane, Mokena
What's on tap? With 36 televisions (that's right, they recently bought four more) showing the games, Post Game rightfully calls itself a sports bar. Enjoy $5 domestic pitchers and 50-cent wings (minimum of six) on Wednesday. If you go back on Friday, they've got $15 Corona buckets. On Saturday, have a $5 Long Island Iced Tea.
